-/* These are facilities for accessing data in C programs in ways that
-   exploit the way the machine defines words in order to squeeze out
-   speed and CPU efficiency.
-
-   In particular, routines in this file exploit the endianness of the
-   machine and use explicit machine instructions to access C
-   variables.
-
-   A word is the amount of data that fits in a register; the amount of
-   data that a single machine instruction can process.  For example,
-   on IA32, a word is 32 bits because a single load or store
-   instruction moves that many bits and a single add instruction
-   operates on that many bits.
-
-
-   These facilities revolve around two data types:  wordInt and
-   wordIntBytes.
-
-   wordint is an unsigned integer with precision (size) of one word.
-   It is just the number -- nothing is implied about how it is
-   represented in memory.
-
-   wordintBytes is an array of bytes that represent a word-sized
-   unsigned integer.  x[0] is the high order 8 digits of the binary
-   coding of the integer, x[1] the next highest 8 digits, etc.
-   Note that it has big-endian form, regardless of what endianness the
-   underlying machine uses.
-
-   The actual size of word differs by machine.  Usually it is 32 or 64
-   bits.  Logically it can be as small as one byte.  Fixed bit sequences
-   in each program impose a lower limit of word width.  For example, the
-   longest bit sequence in pbmtog3 has 13 bits, so an 8-bit word won't
-   work with that.
-
-   We also assume that a char is 8 bits.
-
-   HAVE_GCC_BITCOUNT and HAVE_GCC_BSWAP are set in pm_config.h
-
-   BITS_PER_LONG is the number of bits in long int.
